I went for dinner at Kebab with my family.
I was impressed that the sign out front says "vegan & vegetarian options". On the menu, I was pleased to see there is a large section that is vegan by default, including ALL appetizers - much of it is clearly marked gluten free as well.
We ordered the Hummus as an appetizer, it was easily the highlight of the meal - very flavorful, topped with appealing veggies and served with delicious soft pita bread. Then I had the Hot Mezza Plate - the roasted cauliflower, falafel, and fried potatoes were all fresh-tasting and very flavorful.
The only problem was that everything I ordered was drenched in oil. This made it much less appealing and Im sure that so much oil is simply not conducive to good health.

This is now one of my favorite restaurants in Portland! Wow, I heard of this from someone else's post online, and so I went with my family. I had expected it to be a casual place, but it's really nice inside! You could definitely show up in sweatpants and a hoodie, but you could also dress up and go for a date or a special occasion. I was also surprised that the prices were so low for such a nice environment and such high quality ingredients (organic, local, grassfed, Halal), especially given recent inflation! We ordered delicious, inexpensive cocktails that came in these big carafes, and we were like: Are they losing money on this?
This was hands-down the best falafel I've ever had. My partner and child don't like falafel that much, and they even liked it - a lot. The hummous was delicious, and the babaganouj was perfect! My family ordered lamb, and they said it might have been the best they've ever had, and I had chicken, and omg, we are going back!
The family was warm and welcoming, and it was OBVIOUS this is a family-run place and they do it with love. Please go support this restaurant! You will not be disappointed!

With so many good Middle Eastern restaurants in Portland, there’s no reason to try this one. Greek salad was filled with 10” long field greens ( not torn) , chickpeas and way too much Italian dressing; falafel seemed to be a ball of uncooked shredded straw that we couldn’t even chew. To Go order did not come with silverware or napkins ☹️ $$ in the trash

So I walked in and waited at the front door for about 5 min before being greeted and told I could sit anywhere. I was then asked if I had been here before and after replying no was pointed towards the buffet and told it was a buffet ale and to just go ahead and start before the server quickly walked away. Was not offered a menu or any drink options, just water. The food selection is very, very limited with 5 dishes, 3 chicken, a lamb, and a vegetarian option. Then a soup and small salad bar. Will not be coming back. I am very tempted to ask for a refund.... I don't know why this place is getting 5 start reviews... maybe the lunch buffet is just not recommended? None of the pictures taken by others resembled my experience besides the atmosphere... i couldn't even get a kabob at Kabob...

Excellent food and bountiful too. We truly enjoyed - Baba Ghanouj (some of the best I have had) - Lamb Kusharia and the Kofta (Ground Lamb) Kabob. Definitely go there and enjoy the food

If I could give Kebab more than five stars, I would! This place is an absolute gem, with incredible food, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to linger. My wife and I love it so much that we even had our wedding reception here!
The owners and staff truly go above and beyond. They are attentive and knowledgeable without being intrusive, and the service is always prompt without feeling rushed. They even brought back an old favorite dish that's no longer on the menu especially for our wedding reception - talk about going the extra mile!
And the food? Simply amazing. Everything I've tried has been delicious, but their lamb is truly exceptional. It's incredibly tender and seasoned to perfection, with just the right balance of flavors. I also highly recommend checking out their lunch buffet – it's a fantastic way to sample a variety of dishes, including plenty of vegetarian and vegan options.
The atmosphere is another highlight. The combination of pleasant lighting, soft music, and beautiful décor creates a relaxed and inviting vibe. You truly feel like you can unwind and enjoy your meal or drinks without feeling rushed.
Speaking of drinks, the cocktails are not only delicious but also beautifully presented. They arrive in your glass bright and colorful, adorned with large, attractive garnishes like sprigs of mint and fresh orange slices.
Whether you're looking for a romantic date night spot or a fun place to gather with friends, Kebab is a great choice. I feel so lucky to have them in my neighborhood!
Vegetarian options: Maybe vegetarian options that are also vegan. Easily half the menu and lots of filling protein.
The food was some of the best middle eastern food I've ever had and the hospitality was exceptional.
